Recover Snapchat without the phone number

Steps

1. Reset by email.
2. Update the phone once in.

Step 1: the route, in order

Work through the steps below in order. Skipping ahead usually costs time.

1. Read the message on the login screen. It says whether the lock is temporary or permanent.
2. For a temporary lock, remove any unofficial apps, plugins or tweaks, wait, then unlock from accounts.snapchat.com or the app.
3. For a permanent lock or ban, go to support.snapchat.com, choose 'My account is locked', and fill in the form.
4. If you were hacked, reset the password by email or phone first. If both were changed, use Snapchat Support's hacked-account form.
5. Use the official Snapchat app only, on your usual device.

Step 2: proof to gather

• Screenshots of the lock message.
• For hacks: any emails from Snapchat about changes.
• A list of any third-party apps or tweaks you used, so you can remove them.
• Your username and the email and phone on the account.

Step 3: what to write

• If someone else had access, say when and how you found out.
• In the support form, say the account is yours, what you saw, and that you have removed any unofficial apps.

Common mistakes

• Logging in on modified Snapchat apps or with plugins that save snaps.
• Making a new account on the same device during a device ban.
• Trying to unlock many times in a row.

Step 4: after submitting

• Once unlocked, turn on two-factor and review connected apps.
• Watch the email on the account for Snapchat Support replies.
• If a permanent lock stands, you can still ask Snapchat about downloading your data through accounts.snapchat.com.

Step 5: if you are stuck

• The device is banned along with the account.
• The lock has not lifted and Support does not reply.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
